Epigenetic modifications involving ncRNAs in digestive system cancers: focus on histone modification

In recent years, epigenetic modifications have been strongly linked to tumor development, with histone modifications representing a key epigenetic mechanism. In addition, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a critical role in regulating cancer-related pathways. The abnormal interaction between histone modifications and ncRNAs, both pivotal epigenetic regulators, has been widely observed across various cancer types. Here, we systematically explore the molecular mechanisms through which histone modifications and ncRNAs contribute in the pathogenesis of digestive system cancers, and aberrant ncRNA-mediated histone modifications manipulate various biological behaviors of tumor cells including proliferation, migration, angiogenesis, etc. In addition, we provide new insights into diagnostic, prognostic markers, therapeutic targets and chemoradiation resistance for digestive system cancers from the epigenetic perspective.

Exploring the diverse role of pyruvate kinase M2 in cancer: Navigating beyond glycolysis and the Warburg effect

Pyruvate Kinase M2, a key enzyme in glycolysis, has garnered significant attention in cancer research due to its pivotal role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells. Originally identified for its association with the Warburg effect, PKM2 has emerged as a multifaceted player in cancer biology. The functioning of PKM2 is intricately regulated at multiple levels, including controlling the gene expression via various transcription factors and non-coding RNAs, as well as adding post-translational modifications that confer distinct functions to the protein. Here, we explore the diverse functions of PKM2, encompassing newly emerging roles in non-glycolytic metabolic regulation, immunomodulation, inflammation, DNA repair and mRNA processing, beyond its canonical role in glycolysis. The ever-expanding list of its functions has recently grown to include roles in subcellular compartments such as the mitochondria and extracellular milieu as well, all of which make PKM2 an attractive drug target in the pursuit of therapeutics for cancer.

Non-metabolic enzyme function of PKM2 in hepatocellular carcinoma: A review

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant tumors with the highest incidence and mortality in the world, causing a serious burden on society. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is one of the principal metabolic enzymes involved in glycolysis. Studies have shown that PKM2 is highly expressed in HCC and can be translocated to the nucleus, where it interacts with various transcription factors and proteins such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1a, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 and histone H3, exerting non-metabolic enzyme functions to regulate the cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis, immune escape, migration, and invasion, as well as HCC angiogenesis and tumor microenvironment. This review is focused on the recent progress of PKM2 interacting with various transcription factors and proteins affecting the onset and development of HCC, as well as natural drugs and noncoding RNA impacting diverse biological functions of liver cancer cells by regulating PKM2 non-metabolic enzyme functions, thereby providing valuable directions for the prognosis improvement and molecular targeted therapy of HCC in the future.

Serum-Circulating microRNAs in Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis

BACKGROUND

Sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) represents a unique disease within idiopathic inflammatory myopathies with a dual myodegenerative-autoimmune physiopathology and a lack of an efficacious treatment. Circulating miRNA expression could expand our knowledge of s-IBM patho-mechanisms and provide new potential disease biomarkers. To evaluate the expression of selected pre-amplified miRNAs in the serum of s-IBM patients compared to those of a sex- and age-matched healthy control group, we enrolled 14 consecutive s-IBM patients and 8 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. By using two different normalization approaches, we found one downregulated and three upregulated miRNAs. hsa-miR-192-5p was significantly downregulated, while hsa-miR-372-3p was found to be upregulated more in the s-IBM patients compared to the level of the controls. The other two miRNAs had a very low expression levels (raw Ct data > 29). hsa-miR-192-5p and hsa-miR-372-3p were found to be significantly dysregulated in the serum of s-IBM patients. These miRNAs are involved in differentiation and regeneration processes, thus possibly reflecting pathological mechanisms in s-IBM muscles and potentially representing disease biomarkers.

Prognostic Value of Erythroblastic Leukemia Viral Oncogene Homolog 2 and Neuregulin 4 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Although the roles of erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2 (ERBB2), neuregulin 4 (NRG4), and mitogen-inducible gene 6 (MIG6) in epidermal growth factor receptor signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other malignancies have been previously investigated, the prognostic value of their serum levels in HCC remains undetermined. In the present study, correlations between serum levels and tumor characteristics, overall survival, and tumor recurrence were analyzed. Furthermore, the prognostic potential of the serum levels of these biomarkers was evaluated relative to that of alpha-fetoprotein. Both ERBB2 and NRG4 correlated with the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage, ERBB2 correlated with the tumor-maximal diameter, and NRG4 correlated with a tumor number. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that ERBB2 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.719; p = 0.007) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Furthermore, ERBB2 (HR, 2.338; p = 0.002) and NRG4 (HR, 431.763; p = 0.001) were independent prognostic factors for tumor recurrence. The products of ERBB2 and NRG4 had a better area under the curve than alpha-fetoprotein for predicting 6-month, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year mortality. Therefore, these factors could be used to evaluate prognosis and monitor treatment response in patients with HCC.

LncRNA MBNL1-AS1 Represses Proliferation and Cancer Stem-Like Properties of Breast Cancer through MBNL1-AS1/ZFP36/CENPA Axis

Background

Emerging studies have revealed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were key regulators of cancer progression. In this research, the expression and roles of MBNL1-AS1 were explored in breast cancer (BC).

Methods

In this study, the MBNL1-AS1 expression in breast cancer tissue, as well as in cell line, was studied by qRT-PCR assays. The effects of MBNL1-AS1 on proliferation and stemness were evaluated by MTT assays, colony formation assays, orthotopic breast tumor mice models, extreme limiting dilution analysis (ELDA), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), flow cytometry assays, and sphere formation assays. Flexmap 3D assays were performed to show that MBNL1-AS1 downregulated the centromere protein A (CENPA) secretion in BC cells. Western blot, RNA pull-down assays, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays, and FISH were conducted to detect the mechanism.

Results

The results showed that the expression levels of MBNL1-AS1 were downregulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that overexpression of MBNL1-AS1 markedly inhibited BC cells proliferation and stemness. RNA pull-down assay, RIP assay, western blot assay, and qRT-PCR assay showed that MBNL1-AS1 downregulated CENPA mRNA via directly interacting with Zinc Finger Protein 36 (ZFP36) and subsequently decreased the stability of CENPA mRNA. Restoration assays also confirmed that MBNL1-AS1 suppressed the CENPA-mediated proliferation and stemness in breast cancer cells.

Conclusions

The new mechanism of how MBNL1-AS1 regulates BC phenotype is elucidated, and the MBNL1-AS1/ZFP36/CENPA axis may be served as a therapeutic target for BC patients.

A Perspective on Medicinal Chemistry Approaches for Targeting Pyruvate Kinase M2

The allosteric regulation of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) affects the switching of the PKM2 protein between the high-activity and low-activity states that allow ATP and lactate production, respectively. PKM2, in its low catalytic state (dimeric form), is chiefly active in metabolically energetic cells, including cancer cells. More recently, PKM2 has emerged as an attractive target due to its role in metabolic dysfunction and other interrelated conditions. PKM2 (dimer) activity can be inhibited by modulating PKM2 dimer-tetramer dynamics using either PKM2 inhibitors that bind at the ATP binding active site of PKM2 (dimer) or PKM2 activators that bind at the allosteric site of PKM2, thus activating PKM2 from the dimer formation to the tetrameric formation. The present perspective focuses on medicinal chemistry approaches to design and discover PKM2 inhibitors and activators and further provides a scope for the future design of compounds targeting PKM2 with better efficacy and selectivity.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Assays on Medulloblastoma Cell Line DAOY

Studies of DNA-protein interactions have revealed regulatory mechanisms of DNA replication, repair, remodeling, and transcription. Perturbation of any or all of these processes result in differential gene expression that can lead to tumor development. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay (ChIP), currently the only method available to explore DNA-binding in vivo, has become a vastly utilized tool for cancer research. In this article we discuss an assay specified for a pediatric medulloblastoma (MB) cell line DAOY used to determine binding of transcription factors, to detect histone modifications, and to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Cdc25A inhibits autophagy-mediated ferroptosis by upregulating ErbB2 through PKM2 dephosphorylation in cervical cancer cells

Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, and treatment for cervical cancer is very limited. Emerging evidence suggests that targeting ferroptosis is a promising way to treat cancer. Here, we investigated the role of ferroptosis in cervical cancer, with a focus on the Cdc25A/PKM2/ErbB2 axis. Cervical cancer cells were treated with sorafenib to induce ferroptosis. Cellular MDA/ROS/GSH/iron detection assays were used to measure ferroptosis. MTT assays were performed to assess cell viability. qRT-PCR, western blot, and immunostaining assays were performed to measure the levels of proteins. Autophagy was monitored by fluorescence microscopy. Nuclear and cytosolic fractions were isolated to examine the location of PKM2 modifications. Co-IP experiments were conducted to determine the Cdc25A/PKM2 interaction. ChIP assays were performed to measure the binding affinity between H3K9Ac and the ErbB3 promoter, and a dual luciferase assay was performed to examine the transcriptional activity of ErbB2. A nude mouse xenograft model was used to examine the effects of the Cdc25A/ErbB2 axis on tumour growth in vivo. Cdc25A was elevated in human cervical cancer tissues but was reduced during sorafenib-induced ferroptosis of cervical cancer cells. Overexpression of Cdc25A inhibited sorafenib-induced ferroptosis by dephosphorylating nuclear PKM2 and suppressing autophagy. Cdc25A regulated autophagy-induced ferroptosis by increasing ErbB2 levels via the PKM2-pH3T11-H3K9Ac pathway. Cdc25A increased the resistance of cervical cancer to sorafenib, while knockdown of ErbB2 blocked these effects. Cdc25A suppressed autophagy-dependent ferroptosis in cervical cancer cells by upregulating ErbB2 levels through the dephosphorylation of PKM2. These studies revealed that Cdc25A/PKM2/ErbB2 pathway-regulated ferroptosis could serve as a therapeutic target in cervical cancer.

The Transcriptional Coactivator, ALL1-Fused Gene From Chromosome 9, Simultaneously Sustains Hypoxia Tolerance and Metabolic Advantages in Liver Cancer

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Proteins that recognize epigenetic modifications function as mediators to interpret epigenetic codes. Hypoxia response and metabolic rewiring are two major events during cancer progression. However, whether and how the epigenetic regulator integrates hypoxia response and metabolism together remain open for study.

APPROACH AND RESULTS

We data mined the clinical association of 33 histone lysine acetylation reader proteins with liver cancer and found that ALL1-fused gene from chromosome 9 (AF9) is up-regulated in cancer and correlates with tumor stage and poor prognosis. Conditional deletion of Af9 in mouse liver resulted in decreased tumor formation induced by c-MET proto-oncogene/β-catenin. Loss of AF9 heavily impaired cell proliferation and completely blocked solid tumor formation. We further discovered that AF9 formed a positive feedback circuit with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1α) and also stabilized MYC proto-oncogene (cMyc). Mechanically, AF9 interacted with HIF1α and targeted HIF1A promoter whereas AF9 recognized cMyc acetylation at K148, protected cMyc phosphorylation at S62, and then stabilized cMyc, which, in turn, up-regulates phosphofructokinase, platelet expression. Otherwise, knockout of Af9 in mouse hepatocytes increased the infiltration of CD8⁺ T cells, which is linked to the down-regulation of lactate dehydrogenase A.

CONCLUSIONS

AF9 is up-regulated to promote gene expression of hypoxia tolerance and glycolysis by simultaneously forming a complex with HIF1α and recognizing acetylated cMyc. Our results establish the oncogenic role of AF9 in human liver cancer, which could be a potential target for designing drugs against liver cancer.

Potential therapeutic strategies for targeting Y-box-binding protein 1 in cancers

As one of the most conservative proteins in evolution, Y-box-binding protein 1 (YB-1) has long been considered as a potential cancer target. YB-1 is usually poorly expressed in normal cells and exerts cellular physiological functions such as DNA repair, pre-mRNA splicing and mRNA stabilizing. In cancer cells, the expression of YB-1 is up-regulated and undergoes nuclear translocation and contributes to tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, tumor proliferation, invasion, migration and chemotherapy drug resistance. During the past decades, a variety of pharmacological tools such as siRNA, shRNA, microRNA, circular RNA, lncRNA and various compounds have been developed to target YB-1 for cancer therapy. In this review, we describe the physiological characteristics of YB-1 in detail, highlight the role of YB-1 in tumors and summarize the current therapeutic methods for targeting YB-1 in cancer.

A comprehensive review of the functions of YB-1 in cancer stemness, metastasis and drug resistance

The Y Box binding protein 1 (YB-1) is a member of the highly conserved Cold Shock Domain protein family with multifunctional properties both in the cytoplasm and inside the nucleus. YB-1 is also involved in various cellular functions, including regulation of transcription, mRNA stability, and splicing. Recent studies have associated YB-1 with the regulation of the malignant phenotypes in several tumor types. In this review article, we provide an in-depth and expansive review of the literature pertaining to the multiple physiological functions of YB-1. We will also review the role of YB-1 in cancer development, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance in various malignancies, with more weight on literature published in the last decade. The methodology included querying databases PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar for Y box binding protein 1, YB-1, YBX1, and Y-box-1.

The Role of PKM2 in Metabolic Reprogramming: Insights into the Regulatory Roles of Non-Coding RNAs

Pyruvate kinase is a key regulator in glycolysis through the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into pyruvate. Pyruvate kinase exists in various isoforms that can exhibit diverse biological functions and outcomes. The pyruvate kinase isoenzyme type M2 (PKM2) controls cell progression and survival through the regulation of key signaling pathways. In cancer cells, the dimer form of PKM2 predominates and plays an integral role in cancer metabolism. This predominance of the inactive dimeric form promotes the accumulation of phosphometabolites, allowing cancer cells to engage in high levels of synthetic processing to enhance their proliferative capacity. PKM2 has been recognized for its role in regulating gene expression and transcription factors critical for health and disease. This role enables PKM2 to exert profound regulatory effects that promote cancer cell metabolism, proliferation, and migration. In addition to its role in cancer, PKM2 regulates aspects essential to cellular homeostasis in non-cancer tissues and, in some cases, promotes tissue-specific pathways in health and diseases. In pursuit of understanding the diverse tissue-specific roles of PKM2, investigations targeting tissues such as the kidney, liver, adipose, and pancreas have been conducted. Findings from these studies enhance our understanding of PKM2 functions in various diseases beyond cancer. Therefore, there is substantial interest in PKM2 modulation as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of multiple conditions. Indeed, a vast plethora of research has focused on identifying therapeutic strategies for targeting PKM2. Recently, targeting PKM2 through its regulatory microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) has gathered increasing interest. Thus, the goal of this review is to highlight recent advancements in PKM2 research, with a focus on PKM2 regulatory microRNAs and lncRNAs and their subsequent physiological significance.

Y-Box Binding Proteins in mRNP Assembly, Translation, and Stability Control

Y-box binding proteins (YB proteins) are DNA/RNA-binding proteins belonging to a large family of proteins with the cold shock domain. Functionally, these proteins are known to be the most diverse, although the literature hardly offers any molecular mechanisms governing their activities in the cell, tissue, or the whole organism. This review describes the involvement of YB proteins in RNA-dependent processes, such as mRNA packaging into mRNPs, mRNA translation, and mRNA stabilization. In addition, recent data on the structural peculiarities of YB proteins underlying their interactions with nucleic acids are discussed.

miR24-2 accelerates progression of liver cancer cells by activating Pim1 through tri-methylation of Histone H3 on the ninth lysine

Several microRNAs are associated with carcinogenesis and tumour progression. Herein, our observations suggest both miR24‐2 and Pim1 are up‐regulated in human liver cancers, and miR24‐2 accelerates growth of liver cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, miR24‐2 increases the expression of N6‐adenosine‐methyltransferase METTL3 and thereafter promotes the expression of miR6079 via RNA methylation modification. Furthermore, miR6079 targets JMJD2A and then increased the tri‐methylation of histone H3 on the ninth lysine (H3K9me3). Therefore, miR24‐2 inhibits JMJD2A by increasing miR6079 and then increases H3K9me3. Strikingly, miR24‐2 increases the expression of Pim1 dependent on H3K9me3 and METTL3. Notably, our findings suggest that miR24‐2 alters several related genes (pHistone H3, SUZ12, SUV39H1, Nanog, MEKK4, pTyr) and accelerates progression of liver cancer cells through Pim1 activation. In particular, Pim1 is required for the oncogenic action of miR24‐2 in liver cancer. This study elucidates a novel mechanism for miR24‐2 in liver cancer and suggests that miR24‐2 may be used as novel therapeutic targets of liver cancer.

Effect and mechanism of YB-1 knockdown on glioma cell growth, migration, and apoptosis

Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) is manifested as its involvement in cell proliferation and differentiation and malignant cell transformation. Overexpression of YB-1 is associated with glioma progression and patient survival. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of YB-1 knockdown on glioma cell progression and reveal the mechanisms of YB-1 knockdown on glioma cell growth, migration, and apoptosis. It was found that the knockdown of YB-1 decreased the mRNA and protein levels of YB-1 in U251 glioma cells. The knockdown of YB-1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Proteome and phosphoproteome data revealed that YB-1 is involved in glioma progression through regulating the expression and phosphorylation of major proteins involved in cell cycle, adhesion, and apoptosis. The main regulated proteins included CCNB1, CCNDBP1, CDK2, CDK3, ADGRG1, CDH-2, MMP14, AIFM1, HO-1, and BAX. Furthermore, it was also found that YB-1 knockdown is associated with the hypo-phosphorylation of ErbB, mTOR, HIF-1, cGMP-PKG, and insulin signaling pathways, and proteoglycans in cancer. Our findings indicated that YB-1 plays a key role in glioma progression in multiple ways, including regulating the expression and phosphorylation of major proteins associated with cell cycle, adhesion, and apoptosis.

Long noncoding RNA HULC accelerates the growth of human liver cancer stem cells by upregulating CyclinD1 through miR675-PKM2 pathway via autophagy

BACKGROUND

The functions of HULC have been demonstrated in several cancers. However, its mechanism has not been elucidated in human liver cancer stem cells.

METHODS

Liver cancer stem cells were isolated from Huh7 cells; gene infection and tumorigenesis test in vitro and in vivo were performed.

RESULTS

We demonstrate that HULC promotes growth of liver cancer stem cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, HULC enhances the expression of Sirt1 dependent on miR675 and then induces the cellular autophagy through Sirt1. HULC enhances CyclinD1 and thereby increases pRB and inhibited P21 WAF1/CIP 1 via autophagy-miR675-PKM2 pathway in human liver cancer stem cells. Ultimately, our results demonstrate that CyclinD1 is required for the oncogenic functions of HULC in liver cancer stem cells.

CONCLUSIONS

It reveals the key molecular signaling pathways for HULC and provides important basic information for finding effective tumor therapeutic targets based on HULC.

The molecular mechanisms of LncRNA-correlated PKM2 in cancer metabolism

Reprogrammed metabolism is an important hallmark of cancer cells. Pyruvate kinase (PK) is one of the major rate-limiting enzymes in glucose metabolism. The M2 isoform of PK (PKM2), is considered to be an important marker of metabolic reprogramming and one of the key enzymes. Recently, through the continuous development of genome-wide analysis and functional studies, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play vital regulatory roles in cancer progression by acting as either potential oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Furthermore, several studies have shown that up-regulation of PKM2 in cancer tissues is associated with LncRNAs expression and patient survival. Thus, scientists have begun to unveil the mechanism of LncRNA-associated PKM2 in cancer metabolic progression. Based on these novel findings, in this mini-review, we summarize the detailed molecular mechanisms of LncRNA related to PKM2 in cancer metabolism. We expect that this work will promote a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of PKM2, and provide a profound potential for targeting PKM2 to treat tumors.

Involvement of long non-coding RNA HULC (highly up-regulated in liver cancer) in pathogenesis and implications for therapeutic intervention

INTRODUCTION

HULC (highly upregulated in liver cancer) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) which is, as its name suggests, highly upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and in several other cancers. Increased HULC expression levels are strongly associated with clinicopathologic features such as tumor stages and overall survival and is a driver of tumor proliferation, migration, and invasion. Areas covered: This review addresses the discovery of HULC and discusses the consequences of HULC deregulation in cancer, the underlying molecular mechanisms and the potential of HULC as a biomarker and therapeutic target. Expert opinion: HULC is a promising candidate as a therapeutic target in cancer; however, more studies are necessary to further elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism(s), especially in cancer types other than hepatocellular carcinomas. Future studies that focus on an optimized HULC-targeting approach are necessary to clarify the best strategy to target this lncRNA in vivo and in patients.

YB-1 modulates the drug resistance of glioma cells by activation of MDM2/p53 pathway

Background

Y-box-binding protein-1 (YB-1) is aberrantly expressed in a variety of cancers. However, the biological functional role of YB-1 in glioma is not yet clear.

Methods

The expression of MDM2 and YB-1 was analyzed by real time PCR. Overexpression and knockdown of YB-1 in glioma cells were created by transfection of pcDNA-YB-1 and siRNA against YB-1, respectively. Cell viability was performed by CCK8 assay.

Results

Our findings showed that glioma tissues had higher expressions of YB-1 than that in cancer-free tissues in 54 glioma patients, which were also positively correlated with Murine MDM2 expression. Overexpression of YB-1 or MDM2 renders a drug resistance feature in glioma cell exposed to temozolomide (TMZ), by directly targeting p53. Genetic or chemical inhibition of MDM2 significantly blocked YB-1-modulated response of glioma cells to TMZ. Moreover, inhibition of YB-1 or MDM2 reduced glioma cells metastasis and mortality in mice.

Conclusion

YB-1 facilitates the resistance of glioma cells to TMZ by direct activation of MDM2/p53 signaling and represents a promising molecular target for glioma treatment.

miR-26b Mimic Inhibits Glioma Proliferation In Vitro and In Vivo Suppressing COX-2 Expression

Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the nervous system. Studies have shown the microRNA-26b (miR-26b)/cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) axis in the development and progression in many tumor cells. Our study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of the miR-26b/COX-2 axis in glioma. Decreased expression of miR-26b with increased levels of COX-2 was found in glioma tissues compared with matched normal tissues. A strong negative correlation was observed between the level of miR-26b and COX-2 in 30 glioma tissues. The miR-26b was then overexpressed by transfecting a miR-26b mimic into U-373 cells. The invasive cell number and wound closing rate were reduced in U-373 cells transfected with miR-26b mimic. In addition, COX-2 siRNA enhanced the effect of miR-26b mimic in suppressing the expression of p-ERK1 and p-JNK. Finally, the in vivo experiment revealed that miR-26b mimic transfection strongly reduced the tumor growth, tumor volume, and expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9. Taken together, our research indicated a miR-26b/COX-2/ERK/JNK axis in regulating the motility of glioma in vitro and in vivo, providing a new sight for the treatment of glioma.
